Corrections: June 27, 2013

Because of an editing error, a picture caption on Wednesday with an article about the difficulties faced by the Indian Air Force in its search and rescue efforts following a flash flood last week misidentified the location of Srinagar, where heavy damage occurred. It is in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand — not in Kashmir (though there is also a Srinagar in Kashmir).

NATIONAL

An article on Tuesday about the controversy surrounding Paula Deen’s admission during a deposition in a discrimination lawsuit that she used racist language paraphrased incorrectly from her testimony. While she admitted to making off-color jokes, she did not say that she told jokes that denigrate blacks.

SPORTS

An article in some editions on Tuesday about the Chicago Blackhawks’ Stanley Cup-clinching victory over the Boston Bruins misidentified the site of two of the Blackhawks’ three consecutive victories to close out their seven-game second-round playoff series against the Detroit Red Wings. Two of those three victories came at home, not on the road. And the Game 7 clincher, sealed with a goal by Brent Seabrook in overtime, was in Chicago, not in Detroit. The article also described incorrectly the Blackhawks’ winning streak at the start of the season. They went 21-0-3 to earn a point in each of their first 24 games, a league record, and were unbeaten in 21 regulation wins during that stretch. It is not the case that they were unbeaten in their first 24 games.

THE ARTS

An article on Monday about the musician J. P. Jofre misstated part of the name of the orchestra with which he will perform his bandoneón concerto next March and misstated part of the name of the city in California where the orchestra is based. The orchestra is the Symphony Silicon Valley, not the Silicon Valley Philharmonic, and it is in San Jose, not in San Juan.

An article on Wednesday about the historian Ben Urwand, who has a book, “The Collaboration: Hollywood’s Pact With Hitler,” coming out in October that asserts that Hollywood aided Nazi Germany, misstated the given name of the Norwegian leader who collaborated with the Nazis during World War II. He was Vidkun Quisling, not Vikdun. The article also misstated the middle initial of a historian at Brandeis University who said the word “collaboration” in the context of the title is a slander. He is Thomas P. Doherty, not Thomas M.

The Books of The Times review on Wednesday, about “Mo’ Meta Blues,” by the musician Ahmir Thompson, known as Questlove, and Ben Greenman, referred incorrectly to e-mails Mr. Greenman sent while writing the book. He sent e-mails to his editor, Ben Greenberg, not to himself. The article also misstated the title of a Sam Cooke song. It is “Wonderful World,” not “What a Wonderful World.”

HOME

A listing last Thursday with an article about nests built for human habitation misstated the Web address for Jayson Fann, who builds such nests. It is bigsurspiritgarden.com.

OBITUARIES

An obituary on Friday about the physicist Kenneth G. Wilson referred incorrectly to his accomplishments. While he did run the mile at Harvard, he was not the Ivy League mile champion.
